Are you going to try to tweak the TCU to improve the shifting characteristics?

Plan is to program my own controller to take over shifting when the mode selector switch is flipped to sport setting.
This will effectively cut power to the TCU and allow my controller to take over the activation of the shift solenoids based on paddle inputs from the steering column.
Prototyped this already last year on the non turbo sedan I had, now to do full implementation with the turbo car.

Those wheels look a lot better "in person" than they do on the website.

Cell phone pic not helping, website slightly better though. You're right either way, should be pretty sweet.
I've got some plain black caps to put in them but I was thinking of adding a white logo (high contrast) to the middle of them but not sure what... Any thoughts?
Confirmed shipment on tires, arriving tomorrow (225/40/18)

To my knowledge there are only four sets of the black VMS in the states, mine is the fourth set.
However the standard VMS color is still available http://www.ipdusa.co...s=vms&submit=GO

Make sure the white center cap has a storm trooper head on it. My friend fell in love with this car based on the Star Wars content.

Thinking about changing from 18T to a 20G turbo since I've already produced all the parts to fit it to a white block. Limited to about 350 bhpfor my build and then make an off the shelf map for it, anyone at all interested in that?
Probably still do it whether anyone here likes it but helps me get a sense of whether to spend time making a ready to go kit...

Is this a personal project or an IPD project? Is IPD considering developing a kit for the paddle shifter set-up? Prolly not.. that could be a sticky wicket.
